Hiring a Bail Bondsman following an arrest for a Sacramento DUI

Following an arrest for a Sacramento felony DUI you may be required to post bail in order to be released from jail.  Bail can be tens of thousands of dollars and is completely dependent on the circumstances of your Sacramento Drunk Driving case.  A judge will set your bail and if there was serious bodily injury or death then you will likely have a much higher bail.  If you fail to show up at the arraignment date set by the Sacramento County Superior Court after posting bail then you will not only lose the posted bail amount but there will also be a warrant issued for your arrest.

Our Sacramento DUI Defense Lawyers will be able to help you find an experienced bail bondsman and potentially get you a discount on the required down payment.  While a bail bondsman will post the bail amount set by the judge, but you will have to pay a percentage of the total bail amount.  The required amount is usually ten percent, but our Sacramento DUI Defense Firm has strong working relationships with local bail bondsman and can work to get you a lower fee.
